Here's a trick I learned from using public libraries.

Not only are public libraries life savers in depression times, because
they have a tradition of allowing poor people to come in just to rest and
keep warm, maybe staying open until like eleven o'clock at night; but they
great for resources.

1. They have bulletin boards with information about such things as jobs
at all the levels, from city to state to federal, and the application
forms.

2. Public libraries are unique, because they try to be of service to
people in ways that are not just about books. They can help with
information about programs like Job Corp, adult education, child care, and
help organizations.

3. And of course libraries have the books and newspapers that people need
to help themselves. Need a job? Go to a public library and look in the
ads of newspapers all around where you are.

4. Libraries also have computers you can use when away from home.

So if you finally find your way down from the hills or out of the desert
and into town, you can just make your way to the library and its
resources.

What I've been doing lately is use the Inter-Library Loan program of the
city where I am, and ordering books from other libraries, if not otherwise
available. I've even learned that the other libraries around, like
university and community college libraries, also are full of resources you
can use, even check out, if you have a public library borrower's card.

Now, you may think I'm through telling the tricks I know about using the
library, but I'm not. Right now I have before me a book I picked up at
the library from the FREE shelves, it's a novel, Survival Games, by
Charles Gaines. It could be a turkey, but I have found some really great
books in the Discarded pile, including a set of Britannica Encyclopaedia.
It occurs to me that having something to read in your backpack might be
useful for recreation, even though reading may be low-level priority.
